Paradox Mage unlock

#1 Post by Sradac »

Hi all!
So I havent been around in a while, in fact last time I played was around when the temporal warden was first released. Must say the new starting areas are great and really add to the lore.
I've been trying to unlock paradox mage, to no avail. I dont know if this was a bug or what, but according to the wiki you unlock the paradox mage by being killed by your future self as a temporal warden in Daikara. Seemed easy enough so after clearing out the 2 elven starting areas I headed there. Found my future self and realized I did so little damage to myself this was going to take awhile. My future self teleported myself away into a pack of drakes which happened to kill me. No big deal, resurrected and took them all out.
After that, I found my future self again but I wouldnt attack myself...if that makes any sense. Future me just ran around chasing me all over Daikara 4 but would not attack, at all. A bit frustrated I took a swing at myself only to be banished...somewhere and had to deal with Epoch! Needless to say, taking on a level 20 boss at level 10 I had no chance. Stuck in epochs dimension and used all my lives. Got no unlock. Do you still have to die by you future self or did this change? And whats this Epoch guy about?

Him not attacking is an AI issue that will be fixed next beta.

You might try killing yourself...

Would that work?

Well I tried that, but as soon as I smacked myself I kicked myself out of this reality and into the Void with Epoch :(

When I tried killing my future self, I got sent to Epoch, fought and killed Epoch, and then I was faced once again with my future self. I fought and killed my future self, and got no unlock. It gave me a "Self-Killer" achievement, but it didn't unlock Paradox Mages.
